Today Year 13
students and staff went on a trip organised by the Religious Education
Faculty.
They set out in
the morning to visit the Liverpool Catholic Cathedral, affectionately known as
paddy’s wigwam, due to its architectural style. After a great visit to the
Catholic Cathedral they walked along Hope St, to take in a guided tour of
Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral. Hope Street is the street which connects these
two iconic buildings, it was awarded Great Street of the Year award in 2013.
We walked past the
famous Everyman theatre where one of the year 13 students, Elliott Reeves-Giblin,
will make his acting debut later this month. Students had their picture taken
sitting on “The Case History” public sculpture by John King. The cases
represent notable Liverpudlians such as Lennon and McCartney. Jack Hague nearly
destroyed one of the famous superlambananas vis an enthusiastic attempt to
climb on, but thankfully no arrests were made!
The students
thoroughly enjoyed the day and took a keen interest in what the cathedral
guides could tell them about the history of each of these impressive places of
Christian worship. Many historic and symbolic features were highlighted
by all the guides, who revealed lots of interesting facts. Students had
an opportunity to add their names to a local artists work, based on those
who lost their lives in WW1. Jessica Davenport even got to be a woman bishop
for the day in the Anglican cathedral!
The day was a
great success and all the students felt they had been given a great opportunity
to do something that they ordinarily would never have thought of doing.
